If you go with the RC8 you would do better with an EQ6 class mount plus I'd add an OAG, collimation ring and focal reducer.
With your current OTA or the RC6 the HEQ5 should be ok - especially if you use an OAG.
A cooled camera is definitely higher on the agenda, i'm just talking down the track if I ever wanted to change scopes that's all. But i'm loving the insight from everyone, much appreciated! Definitely opened my eyes. I just love the way images from an RC6/8 come out, so hopefully one day i'll be able to replicate some of those beautiful shots!
